68/365, #177: Looking Down

This was taken from the airplane (through a dirty window!) on my way home from Florida--a view of the sunset looking down from above the clouds.

67/365, My Own Theme: White

More of the gorgeous flowers at our hotel in Florida.

66/365, #340: Turkey

Taken at Tampa's Lowry Zoo.

65/365, #234: Pink

The staircase at the Smith-Trahern Mansion in Clarksville, Tennessee, decorated for my niece's wedding.

We didn't see the ghost of Mrs. Smith that is mentioned in the link, but just maybe she enjoyed the party! ;-)

64/365, #128: Greek

This was our server at Hellas, a "Famous Greek" restaurant in Tarpon Springs, Florida. He has a great sense of humor!

63/365, #172: Lines

Lots of lines in this photo of a replica of HMS Bounty docked at The Pier in St. Petersburg, Florida. The ship was used in the 1962 MGM movie starring Marlon Brando and also Disney's Pirates of the Carribean.

62/365, #311: Sunset

This "pirate ship" is one that does sunset tours in Clearwater Beach. I had to wait a few minutes to get this shot just as it passed the setting sun.

61/365, My Own Theme: Float

This pelican floated around in circles for several minutes before flying away!

60/365, #257: Regal

A Southern Bald Eagle, taken at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo.

59/365, #255: Red

The geraniums at our hotel are gorgeous!

58/365, #354: Water's Edge

Clearwater Beach, Florida

57/365, #227: Past Its Prime

I'm in Florida this week for a conference. I met up with some photo/scrapbooking friends over the weekend and we went to the zoo at Tampa and then Tarpon Springs. This boat was abandoned several years ago and is now past its prime. (I had this post titled abandoned but realized I'd already used that theme!)

56/365, #103: Flowers

Flowers and the rings!

55/365, #334: Toys

Toys--on a cake! My niece got married last weekend and chose Bride Barbie and GI Joe as a cake topper. Her husband is in the Army.

I got the fun job of getting them to stay on the cake!

54/365, #282: Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign

Signs of spring after a long winter!
:-) :-)

53/265, #274: Selective Focus

52/365, #365: Yellow

51/365, #281: Bokeh

It's a beautiful spring-like day and things are starting to turn green--a very welcome change. I was excited about the nice round bokeh I got when shooting this rose bush budding out!

50/365, #106: Food, Glorious Food!

My nephew made Italian food for the anniversary party. He did a fantastic job!

49/365, #190: Multiples

Bruschetta--it was delicious and smelled so good!

48/365, #86: Environmental Portrait

Chef Travis (my nephew) at work at the anniversary party.

47/365, #211: Oops!

This piece of cake ended up on the table instead of a plate--OOPS!

46/365, #26: Big Event

A Big Event for our family: My Parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary!

45/365, #41: Canine Companion

This is Annie, my parents' dog and my "sister." We went for a long walk this morning and she was worn out!

44/365, #232: Photograph

These photos were all scanned, printed, and put on display boards for my parents' 50th Anniversary celebration. There are about 350 photos taken in the past 50 years. It's hard to tell the size of the boards, but they are app. 28" x 38". I've been busy and am finally finished! Now I need to get the slideshow done...

43/365, #96: Feathered

Some feathered friends at the feeder: House Finches, Gold Finches, and a Tufted Titmouse.

42/365, #357: What's for Dinner?

It's snowing again today! I took the screen out of the window and set the tripod up.

This Red-Bellied Woodpecker is having his dinner!

41/365, #3: A Movie Title

The Birds

This is not the best photo (taken with my little purse camera) and I'm sure this movie title has been used by another BlogMonster, but it sure reminds me of that movie.

Although you can't really tell what they are in the photo, the dark specks in the sky are birds! This was taken on 1/31 while sitting in a parking lot waiting for my sister. There had to be millions of these birds, they just kept coming for more than 30 minutes. There were more behind our truck, too. It was kind of scary! Wonder where they were going?

40/365, #250: Rainbow

We had a storm this afternoon and when it was over, my husband pointed out this rainbow to me. Of course, I stopped what I was doing, got the camera, and went outside to take the photo!

Winter Wonderland

I've already posted one of these tree pics, but thought I'd share a scrapbook page. I did this at Hummie's World as a speed scrap. Kit is by Sandy Collins at Digital Design Den.

If you're a scrapper and want a good deal on kits, the Den is going out of business and everything is 50% off. The designers are fabulous and have high quality kits!

39/365, #189: Moving

You saw the large photo here, but this time I changed it to selective color for a challenge at Digital Design Den. The other two pictures show 'moving' and motion blur, I'm just not fast enough! The title is a cheer the little cheerleaders do at Rory's games!
Background papers created by Jan and Sandy, star border by Sherrie for a collaborative member kit called "Kids & Kaboodle."

38/365, #18: Baby, It's Cold Outside!

It really wasn't so cold on the day that I shot this at Greenbo Lake State Park, but you can tell it had been. I thought it was cool that the ice looked like it was growing up from the ground--like stalagmites!

37/365, #14: Artificial

Artificial--ya think? :-) These guys are on a cabinet at work. We keep them around for any children who come in with their parents and need something to do!
